Ditto, Robbie G was like Gibbo Gibbo come check this out.

I am like what, listen, listen to what? I can't hear anything. :D

Consider me impressed, silent pump and the fans under PWM are near silent, quietest AIO I've come across. :)

Kitguru review is very 'meh', although yeah - the chap barely touches on the noise levels of the pump which is kinda the big selling point of this particular AIO family, and Be Quiet in general.

I was removed from KitGuru's Facebook page for having a different opinion to theirs so I don't either consider them anymore!

That, said would this be a decent replacement for a H220-X? I've recently got a new CPU (6850K) and combined with my cases' poor airflow I'm struggling to keep it cool.

Pump will be weaker here from what I see, significantly so. If you aren't planning on expanding it won't be as big a deal though.

Any feedback from owners please? :) Wondering how this compares with a silent Noctua in terms of noise!

No SPL figures I'm afraid but I just unplugged my 3 120mm Shadow Wings fans (PWM) to see just how loud the Silent Loop is. I have the 240mm version.

Firstly, there is absolutely no pump noise/vibration.

With 18ºc ambient temps, the cooler keeps my FX-8350 (stock) at around 23ºc idle. The fans run at about 900rpm and my WD Blue hard disks are louder.

With all cores at 100% (8 instances of SP2004), the chip peaks at 53ºc and fans spin just under 1500rpm. Again, the Shadow Wings fans make a lot more noise than the Pure Wings 2 included with the Silent Loop. Clocked to 4.4GHz with 1.4v, it reaches 64ºc and the fans run about 1900rpm.

Obviously, the purpose of a fan is to move air and with this movement comes noise. Put the same fans on a Noctua at the same RPM and you'll probably have the same noise levels. It is a quiet cooler though. This is the first time I've actually heard the Silent Loop on its own and it is very quiet.

I do have a couple of videos but the mic is clearly more sensitive than my ears and makes it sound louder than it actually is.
